About this property

Prospect guest house 4km Oval/CBD 2 bathrms/double private carport

The Prospect guest house is in a double brick property with lovely large French windows that let in the light, making it bright and airy. It sits in a leafy inner city upmarket suburb, with free Wifi/internet and within a short stroll to a wonderful cafe/restaurant hub. Coles also sits at the end of the street and at the other end you will find the most wonderful playground/BBQ park.

Recently updated with new flooring/ kitchen and a new second bathroom. It has a double carport, two bathrooms, one inside and a new one outside under the main roof (when looking at the photos it's the door on the left). It has 2 enormous bedrooms, 5m x 4m and 5×5, which sleep up to 8 adults and still offer plenty of room for a cot. Please note the sitting area, as seen in the photographs, is also the main bedroom. This property does not have a separate lounge room. It has 2 huge bedrooms and a large kitchen/dining.


The large main bedroom has a queen-sized bed (plus en suite) and is filled with antique furniture with its own private sitting area. There is an LCD TV on the wall, reverse-cycle air con, and a ceiling fan.

The second and bigger bedroom has 2 double beds and a foldout couch that is very comfy. This room also has a flat-screen TV, a PlayStation/DVD system (supplied on request, with games and DVDs) as well as an office desk.

Its northern aspect to the city means that it's on the same side as the Festival Theatre, Adelaide's new football/ cricket oval and the Entertainment Centre, all about 5 min away. If wine is your thing then it sits on the right side of town to make a quick trip to the famous Barossa Valley (40 min drive). It is also only a 5 min drive to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre and the Women's and Children's Hospital.

Basic condiments are provided. If cooking's not your thing then walk to the end of the street for some of the best cafes and restaurants in town.

Secure, quiet, city fringe location that accommodates pets. The property is surrounded by high fences for complete privacy and pet security.

$15/20 cab fair to the city or a 45 minute walk. Buses run every 10 min to and from the city at the end of the street.

Age-appropriate toys can be provided on request at any time.

The layout of the rooms is:
Bedroom 1 has one queen bed an a stunning sitting room with reverse cycle air con and LCD on the wall.

Bedroom 2 has 2 double beds and a foldout couch. It also has a TV with PlayStation, gas heater and reverse air con.

The dining area also has a delightful wicker cane day bed and can be used for bedding on request.

If extra bedding is required an extra foldout bed and/or cot can be arranged at request.

The cottage has no formal separate lounge room. It comes with a highchair and any other children's/babies' necessities so please ask on or before arrival. Often guests want separate beds so I can arrange up to 6 separate beds if large groups are coming and don't want to share a double bed.

Includes an F&P washing machine in the carport and undercover lines to hang out your washing. I don't advertise that there is a BBQ, however If you require one please let me know and I'll have it brought over for you (it's next door at my other property The Gentleman's Bungalow).

Around the corner is a wonderful playground and a park with BBQ facilities and the North Adelaide football oval where the local residents meet every morning with their dogs to let them off their lead for a run.

Pet friendy optional on enquiry only. Additional charges apply
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. An LCD television and a video-game console are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Stay for Adelaide Royal
The property was very comfortable well presented and very clean. As we had a dog trailer it was a bit difficult to back into but after the first time it wasn’t a problem. We will definitely stay at Shellie’s again.

Thank you Shelley, I really enjoyed my stay at your house. The atmosphere very peaceful, the little garden a delight to sit outside with my little dogs. The close proximity to shops, resturants, a thearte make it a perfect getaway. I would highly recommend anyone to have a break away at Shelley's.

Absolutely loved it!
Loved our stay at the Prospect guest house. Our host couldn't of been kinder, she even went as far as leaving a gift for each of our children upon arrival, which made their day! 😊 The guest house was unbelievably roomy, I was completely surprised in just how much room there was. The pictures shown on the site really don't do this property justice, it is absolutely beautiful. The guest house has a good sized kitchenett and dinning room with everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. It has two very large bedrooms, one with two large double beds and one sofa bed, TV, cupboard, draws and desk. And still plenty of floor space for the kids to play! The second bedroom has a beautiful timber lounge suite, a large queen size bed, hanging space, draws, TV and an ensuite bathroom. Just outside next to the back door is a 2nd large bathroom! Which definitely came in handy. This particular part of prospect is very quiet and the surrounding homes are stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed this particular property and would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting affordable homely accommodation for their stay in Adelaide. And it's only a short drive into the city! We will definitely be staying again on our next visit to Adelaide.

A week in Adelaide
We live in the far North of South Australia and travel a lot. Often we stay in accommodation offered through agencies similar to this. Prospect Cottage has a great location in a leafy Inner suburb of Adelaide with good cafes and restaurants close by. The surrounds provide a very pleasant place to walk. The name evokes images of rustic charm. However, while we found the accommodation to be quite rustic unfortunately, the charm was missing. It consisted of three main rooms, one of which doubled up as a bedroom and lounge room. To get to the only bathroom without going outside guests had to walk through this bedroom lounge. Accessing the second bathroom meant a walk outside along a dodgy narrow sloping pathway. The kitchen also provided another bed of sorts, in the manner of a bench seat. When we travel we like to cook a meal without having to eat out all the time. What we found was chipped crockery and a burnt saucepan and other utensils which had appeared to have had another life elsewhere. One of the dishes, a bowl, had been put away with the remnants of the last meal still apparent. Water pooled in the shower and the walls and doors either hadn’t been painted for a long time or, as in the case of the doors, not at all. The “rustic “ garden consisted of a struggling patch of lawn with a plastic table and two chairs pushed up against the back fence. There were no bbq facilities, but given the outside surrounds it wasn’t missed. The laundry consisted of a washing machine huddled in the carport which was secured from the street by a cumbersome ugly brown sliding door. In short the accommodation was not up to the standard that we have come to expect from this agency. However it would suit an end of year footy team or suffice as a crash pad for a buck’s show. But, at the end of the day, you get what you pay for.
